The term ‘Life Enhancement’ was deliberately chosen to emphasise the positive aspects. What has become clear is that ‘enhancement’ applies much more generally.

We are already mindful at times; formal mindfulness practices enhance this capability

We recognise the problems that automatic pilot, negative thinking and rumination can cause, but may not have explored the full consequences and seen the possibilities of changing our relationship to these

We display the qualities of loving kindness, compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity at times, but all of these can be deepened and enhanced through formal practice

We all have our own levels of optimism, hope, gratitude and forgiveness, but these can be extended and enhanced

We know how to savour, but often lose sight of its full potential, especially when we get trapped on the hedonic treadmill

We understand the importance of the link between mind and body, but this understanding can be easily lost, and can be enhanced through mindful movement

We all have existing values and our own worldview; MBLE should be compatible with these and an enhancement of what we already have.
